Guild Wars 2

This is exactly what I’m hoping for.

What I hope they do is make your first 5 skills just like your last 5. Where you have a list of skills to choose from that relate to the weapon you’re using per slot and you customize that way.

This wouldn’t necessarily be against the “doing away with tons of skills” theory because you’re still only accessing 5 at a time during a fight, 10 for weapons swap 20 for elementalists.

And customization of playstyle and offering options to players is never a waste of time.

As it stands now EVERY-SINGLE-CLASS is the exact same. Combat gets incredibly boring after about 30 levels of using the exact same skills.

I don’t think it’s so much the weapon swapping thing that turned me off to elementalist.. but more something that I’ve noticed with most classes.

There just isn’t enough ability customize to your skills.

I stopped playing elementalist because I got bored with their skills. If I had the option to have alternate skills I could use per weapon (and make this for all classes honestly) so that I wasn’t doing the same things all the time or using the exact same skills as every other elementalist ever minute of every fight then it might be a different story.

What I’m saying is for each slot give us options kind of like how you can choose from a set of skills for 6-9 but for 1-5 as well.

The problem is I understand that they limited skills because most MMOs you have 100 skills and only use a few. Guildwars went to the opposite extreme and gave a handful and you use most of them. The problem is there’s so few that you get bored with it.

The problem wasn’t that there were so many skills in other MMOs, the problem was a lot of those many skills were pointless or useless. Give us skills that are feasible and we’ll use them.
